Blank: Madam Doesn't Like That by Zhanna Hamilton

Why do you write in your genre? What draws you to it?

 

Science fiction is a genre of possibilities. It’s a chance to explore and imagine the future or alternate realities. I find scifi both entertaining and inspiring. 

 

Name one thing you learned from your hero/heroine.

 

Aura Swain, the former human turned military spy bot, makes her own rules and is unconventional. She’s a reminder that independent thought is both powerful and empowering.

 

Are you a plotter or pantser?

 

A mix of both. I outline all my stories, but I allow my intuition to guide me while writing. I’m flexible to change during the creative process. This gives me the opportunity to plan while also following my instincts.

 

Look to your right – what’s sitting there?

 

An array of crystals on a selenite slab. I collect them!

 

Anything new coming up from you?  What?

 

I will soon be releasing the 5th installment of The Blank Series, “You’re Dead to Me, Cupcake” on Wattpad. Interested readers can follow me there to enjoy this series and never miss a story release.

 

Do you have a question for our readers?

 

Yes, I do. What is your favorite genre to read?



A former human turned military spy bot escapes the oppressive Solar Government, leaving behind a secret that turns order into chaos. Now, she’s being hunted.

Blank: Madam Doesn't Like That (Short Story 4 of The Blank Series):

An unexpected visit from sex bots turns into a secret mission with deadly consequences


Read an Excerpt

Arlo read a large sign passing by on the boulevard.

KILL ALL BOTS!

“What the hell is Razor doing?”

“She’ll be fine. She does it all the time.”

“Does what all the time? Never mind. Don’t tell me. We have to stop her.”

Zen crossed her legs, tapped the console with long, golden nails and stared past the protest.

“You stop her.”

He watched Razor lift a helmet off the ground and put it on, pumping her fist as she walked into the chanting crowd.

“I can’t be in a protest, Zen. I have a career to protect.”

“Sounds inconvenient.”

“Don’t we have somewhere to be?”

“And we’ll get there.”

“This is ridiculous,” he said, stepping out of the pod. He tried to spot her. Nothing but angry strangers. Walking towards the crowd, he felt the electric energy of frustration.

“PEOPLE OVER BOTS! PEOPLE OVER BOTS!”

He stood at the edge of the moving spectacle and scanned for Razor.

Against the grain of the crowd, he spotted the oversized biker’s helmet with flowing blonde locks extending beyond the edges. She grabbed a bat off the ground near a closed psychedelics store.

“Razor, no!” he yelled, his voice drowned by the raging chorus.

  2. Thanks for the author interview! My favorite genres to read are the paranormal romance, fantasy/fantasy romance, sci-fi romance. I love to read these genres because anything is possible. There are no limits or boundaries to the imagination. I feel most at home in these genres because growing up, I always wanted to be a vampire or Frankenstein's bride or a fairy or a dragon shifter. Being "normal" just didn't work for me. I'd rather be extraordinary. Thanks for sharing an excerpt!
